Nancy Csapo, Roger L. Hayen

Abstract

This study is an analysis of learning style types for a variety of students at different grade levels.Over 2,000 students completed a questionnaire to determine if their learning style was auditory, visual, or tactile/kinesthetic.The purpose of this study was to increase faculty awareness and understanding of the role of learning styles in the teaching/learning process.A review of the literature was completed along with analysis of the data to determine how learning style type affects the teaching/learning process.The results suggest a focus on the kinesthetic learning style for information technology courses.
